Editorial Reviews

Gettysburg: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania was the site of the largest battle waged during the American Civil War. The battle resulted in a crucial victory for the Union "Army of the Potomac" and was a major turning point in the war. it was also the bloodiest single battle of the war, resulting in over 51,000 soldiers killed, wounded, captured or missing. Wilderness and Spotsylvania: General Ulysses S. Grant, the new Union Commander, brings with him the strong resolve to no back away from anyone, not even the legendary Robert E. Lee. Appomattox:The brave men of the confederacy continue to battle Union forces until General Lee realizes that any further resistance is futile. he seeks out General Grant to formally surrender his troops at Appomattox Court House.

1.0 out of 5 stars A poor representation of historic events, July 18, 2008

Civil War Battlefields - Gettysburg / Wilderness / Spotsylvania / Appomattox I watched this DVD, hoping for an inspiring portrayal of this significant part of U.S. history. What I found was a boring film.Its only salvation was the importance of the subject matter. I assume it was historically accurate, but the graphics were repetitive in both discs, and the narration was dull and ponderous, particularly by the persons filmed . It is an interesting subject, but these DVDs don't do it justice. There must be a better source. Duane R. Kullberg

Obviously a low-budget affair. Random, stock footage from seemingly old movies and/or reenactments ('60s/'70s) are used to illustrate key Civil War battles, often over & over. There is a grand total of one (yes, one) "expert" used constantly who rambles on & on. I actually nodded off several times before finally giving up (I didn't even finish it). Not worth your time, trust me! (Stick to "The Civil War" by Ken Burns)
